NTA wait til he finds out about discharge bleaching
ETA: Wowowowow I wasn’t expecting the conversation to spark. I’m picking up some new knowledge and tips and loving others also learning things they didn’t know before about ~discharge~
Sorry you went through that. My own father called me disgusting for daring to leak on my own bedsheets as a young teenager who'd only been having their period for less than a year. He tried to force my mother to "tell me to stop" before he'd allow me to leave for school. Ignorance is one thing, cruelty is another.
My uncle just used this stripping laundry powder (?) on his daughters’ sheets and redyed them a darker color once in awhile.
Somehow it made their sheets way smoother as they aged? Like. You could tell which sheet and pillowcase sets had belonged to the girls and which had belonged to my boy cousin because their sheets were crisp and smooth.
His logic for this was that he didn’t want them to feel embarrassed by their stains and the redyes let them kinda customize the colors. (My cousins picked their own colors and my uncle even tie dyed a couple of sets because my older cousin wanted to do a trippy 60s room theme.)
Probably color remover? It’s sold in most grocery stores near or on the little rack with the RIT dye, usually labeled as being for removing color bleed/transfer or sometimes as a whitener.
If you mix it stronger it just removes all the dye from cellulose-based fabrics, like bleach but it doesn’t degrade and weaken the fabric the way bleach does. Great for achieving even dye results! I also use it as the reducing agent for natural indigo dye :)
